1 EVOLUTION OF THE GPU NVIDIA PROFESSIONAL SOLUTIONS SALES TOOLKIT Inspiring Customers to do Their Best Work. Faster. THEN: In 1999, GPUs were used to develop graphics for PC games. NOW: With advanced technology, you can do even more with GPUs: Powerful EFFICIENT EXTRAORDINARY Imagine a processor that offers advanced design capabilities for entertainment and commerce, while enabling scientists to tackle the world s most challenging problems from climate research to quantum physics. The GPU makes all of this possible. NVIDIA customers want to do things better, faster and at higher capacity than ever before. Help your prospective customers realize their ambitions with the right professional solution from NVIDIA. WHAT IS A GPU: A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is a highly efficient parallel processor that excels at tackling large amounts of data simultaneously. The beauty of the 3D world comes to life and complex calculations are exponentially faster. Engineers use GPUs to design everything from golf clubs to luxury cars to jumbo jets. Researchers use GPUs to model complex systems, from the human body to the universe. GPUs create stunning visual effects for award-winning movies, media and games. HOW GPUs WORK: GPUs and CPUs work together to process application workloads. The CPU handles simple serial tasks while the GPU handles increasingly more visual and compute-intensive workloads. The result is a transformation of everyday PCs into professional workstations and supercomputers. Scientists use GPUs to advance medical science, prevent pandemics, and discover new drugs. A CPU has multiple cores A GPU has thousands of cores DID YOU KNOW? > More than 1 billion GPUs have been shipped to date. > NVIDIA has 5,000+ patents granted or pending. > GPUs can accelerate applications by as much as 100x. > NVIDIA GPUs power 50 of the world s top supercomputers. > 100% of nominees for Best Visual Effects Oscar were powered by NVIDIA GPUs (2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013). > NVIDIA received a Technology and Engineering Emmy Award for its innovation in graphics processor development.

15 GLOSSARY OF TERMS TERM Assembly/Model CAD CAE Computational Simulations CUDA DCC Directives OpenACC Fermi Frame Buffer GPU GPU Accelerator GPU Computing or GPU Accelerated Computing GPU Ray Tracing GPU Test Drive HPC Integrated Graphics ISV DESCRIPTION An assembly is made up of a part of a physical product that contains multiple 3D sub-components or models. Computer-aided design (CAD), also known as computer-aided drafting (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. Computer-aided drafting describes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. Computer-aided-engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering tasks. For example, CAE systems are able to simulate a design under a variety of conditions to see if it actually works. Computer simulation is the attempt to simulate through a computer model an abstract model of a particular system, such as molecules and materials. NVIDIA CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). Digital content creation is a term that refers to the creation and modification of digital content, such as animation, audio, graphics, images and video, as part of the production process before presentation in its final form. This large field encompasses many segments such as 3D graphics, audio editing, compositing, authoring, etc. Allows programmers to provide simple hints, known as directives, to the compiler to accelerate code. With OpenACC directives, the code remains portable across many-core GPUs and multi-core CPUs. NVIDIA Fermi is the code name for the NVIDIA GPU architecture that launched in NVIDIA products built on the Fermi architecture have names such as Quadro 2000 or Tesla M2090, for example. Frame buffer is dedicated memory on the graphics card similar to that which is used to store model geometry, textures, frames of video, etc. Graphics processing unit with hundreds of compute cores, initially used as graphic processors. Now that GPUs have become programmable and computationally powerful, they are also used to accelerate hundreds of scientific applications. Use of a GPU (graphics processing unit) together with a CPU to accelerate general-purpose scientific and engineering applications. Use of the GPU to greatly accelerate ray trace rendering in solutions such as Iray, VRay-RT, Octane, FinalRender, etc. A free and easy way for customers to try GPUs through a remotely-hosted CPU + GPU server. They can run popular applications, such as AMBER, NAMD or their own code. High-performance computing is the use of parallel processing for running advanced application programs efficiently, reliably and fast. Graphics hardware that is built into the CPU which shares both CPU hardware resources along with system memory. Only sufficient for very basic applications like or word processing. Independent software vendor, typically used to refer to professional software vendors such as Autodesk, Adobe, or Dassault Systèmes. Scientists using GPU-powered systems were able to crack the genetic code behind a deadly strain of E. coli. Scientists studying the physics of the Big Bang need massive computing power. GPUs deliver 125x the performance of other systems. GLOSSARY
